BANGKOK -- Hong Kong-listed real estate group ESR has raised $2 billion so far this year through 15 new or enlarged funds and mandates -- 80% of which are dedicated to the new economy sector -- despite a global fundraising drought.

The warehouse giant on Wednesday announced the second close of its data center fund, also known as ESR Data Centre Fund I, which was expanded to $1.3 billion with a commitment from an unnamed global investor.
